10 Things You Know If You Live For Late Night TV

A few weeks ago, I was able to take the NBC studios tour at 30 Rockefeller Center and I was blown away by the tour. We were able to check out the studios where Nightly News with Lester Holt, SNL and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon are filmed.

While we waited to enter the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon's studio, my best friend told the families on the tour with us "when you're a college student, late night TV is a big thing." At the time, I didn't really think much of it, but looking back, its so true. As a college student, I live for late night TV since it hypes me up, wakes me up, or makes me realize that it's getting late so I need to go to bed soon.

You know that you live for late night tv if:

1. Mean Tweets make you laugh so hard you cry.

Sometimes it's the tweets, other times it's the responses.

2. You get irrationably upset after watching Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

All of this new stuff that you just learned suddenly makes you upset at the world.


3. You wish the Roots could make a soundtrack for your everyday life.

So you could be at the dining hall like...

4. You love seeing guest performances.

You may not know who the performers are, but it's still fun to watch them perform. (By the way, this is Blake Shelton.)


5. Clips from last night's show are all over your Facebook or Twitter feeds.

The day after Chance the Rapper's "hockey reporter" sketch, every actual hockey reporter I followed had retweeted it or tweeted about it in some form.


6. You send your friends gifs of segments that made you laugh out loud.

7. You have a favorite recurring segment or sketch.

I'm split between Jimmy Kimmel Talks to Kids and Weekend Update.


8. You get really excited when your college mascot is on a show during March Madness and share the video on every account you have.

I feel ya, Ramses. March Madness had me feeling like it was more like March Sadness.

9. You love guest segments.

Not sure what's going on here, but I'm kinda ok with it.

10. You make a point to see a show live.

I was able to catch The Daily Show with Trevor Noah live this month and it was so cool. This was my view from the audience.

With the final drive towards finals, you too might be up watching late night TV and studying, or just watching your favorite late night shows.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
